This is the most recent summary we can find of MPs who are also Landlords, does anyone have a similar summary for MPs who are also Freeholders for leased properties without going through the register of interests line by line?

3/3 If you’ve already emailed please do so AGAIN if your MP has not confirmed their support.
Some MPs have only signed after some challenge and pressure from constituents so it is worth writing again!
This evening @BBCNews spent 20-times longer reporting on the Queen’s partner’s head cold than it did on today’s manufacturer’s revelations on lethal cladding at #GrenfellTower
Exactly who’s values does the BBC reflect?
2/2 Do you @Andrew4Pendle think they should pay to bail out cladding manufacturers that falsified fire safety tests?
The finance industry is NOT reassured by this & our homes will remain unsellable & unmortgageable. Pls do meet with us to discuss, if you won't meet constituents.
1/2 Hi @Andrew4Pendle#BuildingSafetyCrisisUK victims will pay a LOT more than £50pm in bldgs <18m. They'll pay huge lump sums for fire wardens, insurance & non cladding safety defects that aren't their fault. Do you think they deserve this?
Isn't it strange that we have to beg MPs to sign McPartland amendment? Aren't they democratically elected to represent constituents and their needs?

@Melania67605023@city_m3@LiamSpender Whole new set of rules and depends on type. To be fair I have read two engineer reports, from two flats I own. Some of it seems just made up. There will be more RICS guidance shortly to complicate things.
A week today the government will enshrine in law leaseholders’ responsibility for all historical fire safety defects when the Fire Safety Bill returns to the commons - long before what politicians knew pre-Grenfell is examined at the inquiry.
@PhilH23 Great point to raise @PhilH23 unless of course MP's support Lords Amendment 4 (via @KathPinnock) - this is a very useful guide to the #FireSafetyBill from @commonslibrary for anyone that is interested https://t.co/fuZ1I7OB9u
@PhilH23 That’s not what the fire safety bill does? It means that fire risk assessments should take account of external walls (wish it had before) and that fire brigade can definitely use enforcement. It leans on the whole EWS1 mess, etc, because fire brigade can’t assess buildings.
@anna_yve It puts the onus on ‘responsible person ‘ ie freeholder - who passes costs on to leaseholders - or if block managed by leaseholders then the management committee. If it doesn’t do this why are all the amendments to stop costs being passed onto leaseholders?
@PhilH23 It puts the onus on responsible person to make sure that fire risk assessment takes account of external walls. Assessing external walls systems comes from advice notes (fire brigade certainly won’t be doing it). We’ve already got these costs because of EWS1, leases, etc.
@PhilH23 The FSB does almost nothing (laughable it’s taking this long). At most it leans on existing system (which is why amends are in scope). But the reason I’m bringing it up is because MPs and Gov can argue the bill doesn’t add a new burden and this isn’t the right place for amends
